Abstract

A method to create continuous motion using a plurality of images depicting numerous lines or pixels arranged in such a way as to create the perception of motion such as in a continuous flow, when projected in sequence, the sequence being repeated in an endless loop. The plurality of images can create a plurality of effects and can be embodied in many commercially viable ways: this can be a design projected on a full motion display, multi-layer edge lit, among many others.

1 . A method to create a continuous motion by means of at least three successive frames that are continuously looped. The images on the frames are comprised of a plurality of images, arranged in a manner consistent with the intended motion either with or without obvious repetitive patterns. 
   
   
       2 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the figure consist of lines. 
   
   
       3 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the figure consist of pixels. 
   
   
       4 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the figure are graphic objects that moves freely on a display. 
   
   
       5 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the images is in an embodiment of a multi-layer, edge-lit sign. 
   
   
       6 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the images is in an embodiment of a design images incorporated on any surface of an architectural element. 
   
   
       7 . The method of  claim 6  wherein the image is in an embodiment of a light panel or a series of light panels on a wall. 
   
   
       8 . The method of  claim 6  wherein the images is in an embodiment of an internally lit floor panel or series internally lit floor panels located in or on a floor.
